| Popis: | Transcatheter occlusion of patent foramina ovalia and atrial septal defects in 10 patients with presumptive paradoxic embolic stroke using the buttoned device appears to be encouraging, with safety and efficacy demonstrated during a follow-up of up to 60 months. Anticoagulation should be continued until complete disappearance of the right-to-left atrial shunt. |
